Something Besides Radiohead to Moisten Your Pantaloons? Some New Sigur Ros Should Fit the Bill.

-NP
Sorry to be vulgar, but this is Sigur Ros we're talking about. Last month we posted a snippet from the upcoming Sigur Ros documentary Heima. Now the band has posted a track from the accompanying album Hvarf-Heim on its Myspace. Although not recorded until recently, "Hljomalind" was born in the age of Agaetis, so I don't have to tell you it's good. Check out the track's uncharacteristic guitar, which fellow blogger Backdrifter aptly described as "not played with a bow."


According to the band's press release, Heima and double-disc "cousin album" Hvarf-Heim are set for release Nov. 5. The beautiful "Hljomalind" has got me intrigued with the release. It's also got me wanting a new "real" album.

P.S. I am an ungrateful bitch.
